Current-era Microsoft continuing to push the boundaries of consent.
Microsoft Edge is a good browser but for some reason Microsoft keeps trying to shove it down everyone’s throat and make it more difficult to use rivals like Chrome or Firefox. Microsoft has now started notifying IT admins that it will force Outlook and Teams to ignore the default web browser on Windows and open links in Microsoft Edge instead.
I have been using Outlook for over 15 years and it’s fine. I have never seen an ad in my inbox. Tips aren’t ads. Not sure what you are talking about. I’m running the latest build connected to an EXO mailbox.
Email clients stop innovating 20 years ago. The strength of Outlook is the interoperability with other Microsoft apps. I am sure you think those are cancer, and that’s fine. lol
Outlook on windows 11 absolutely has ads in the inbox, though I understand you may not have windows 11 or installed the free outlook through the windows 11 upgrade.
“It’s fine” was always my experience when I used outlook through work. Thunderbird can also be integrated with microsoft programs, i’m not sure why its interoperability is such a standout feature for you. But having advertisements masquerading as unopened mail within my inbox is absolutely not fine.
Free or paid?
There is no free outlook. Windows mail replaced outlook express decades ago, and outlook.com is Hotmail not outlook.
Oh, you should know. Windows 11’s newest version lets you just have Outlook for free. You can just click a button in Mail and have the “new Outlook for Windows.”
I didn’t know, thats terrifying. We don’t allow Win11 in our company. Only Win10. Everyone is on paid outlook connected to our orgs cloud exchange. Unfortunately we will never stop supporting MS. Lucky I don’t have to deal with that stuff anymore as dev ops.
it looks like an outlook skin for mail. It is not proper outlook, and I could ne er see them giving it away since it costs users like $100 a year.
